new 52 :: week three :: eyeglasses

Photobucket


Eyeglasses. My first pair. EVER. Back in December I thought I had pink eye, or allergies. Within 48 hours drops I normally used weren't working and I waited in the cold in a line up for an hour to get into the clinic on a Sunday morning. Different drops, no driving, also means no work. After about 5 days of Dr's I had to see an optometrist or go the the ER. It was a long and scary two weeks. My eye was so swollen I couldn't open on my own for Dr. Jake to look at it. He treated my eye for a few days and asked when the last time I had my eyes checked were. Um, well, geez. I was 16. So 15 years ago. He's like lets get this resolved and book in for an exam in the new year.

So I booked us all in for exams last week. Ian was up first, his vision was great. He was happy no glasses for him. Although seeing him try them on anyhow, he totally would rock a pair. Then it was my turn. I've been having a hard time with night driving lately but I figured since being off for a year and not driving much at all I would just get used to it. Turns out I'm nearsighted and have a mild astigmatism. Who knew? Not me! I honestly thought when he was doing the flipping of glass back and forth, when it would go clear it was plain glass. I didn't know he was going to tell me I had these things or that I needed glasses.

So there you have it, my new 52 for this past week was glasses. I can't wait to get them!

Oh now I think this is really exciting!!! I'd love to have to wear glasses (does that make me weird?). My face shape suits glasses & hats! Can't wait to see them!

Oh I hate wearing my glasses. I always wear my contacts and pay extra for extended wear. LOL

I hope you like yours! :)
